Producing and quantifying enriched para-H2.
The production of enriched para-H(2) is useful for many scientific applications, but the technology for producing and measuring para-H(2) is not yet widespread. In this note and in the accompanying auxiliary material, we describe the design, construction, and use of a versatile standalone converter that is capable of producing para-H(2) enrichments of up to > or = 99.99% at continuous flow rate...
متن کاملClostridium amylolyticum sp. nov., isolated from H2-producing UASB granules.
A Gram-stain-positive, strictly anaerobic, mesophilic, amylolytic, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain SW408(T), was isolated from a laboratory-scale H(2)-producing upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor. The strain grew at 24-45 degrees C (no growth at or below 22 degrees C or at or above 47 degrees C), with optimum growth at 37 degrees C. The pH range for growth was 4.0-9.0 (no growth at...
متن کاملRestricted distribution of the butyrate kinase pathway among butyrate-producing bacteria from the human colon.
The final steps in butyrate synthesis by anaerobic bacteria can occur via butyrate kinase and phosphotransbutyrylase or via butyryl-coenzyme A (CoA):acetate CoA-transferase. Degenerate PCR and enzymatic assays were used to assess the presence of butyrate kinase among 38 anaerobic butyrate-producing bacterial isolates from human feces that represent three different clostridial clusters (IV, XIVa...
متن کاملPhysiology and bioenergetics of [NiFe]-hydrogenase 2-catalyzed H2-consuming and H2-producing reactions in Escherichia coli.
Escherichia coli uptake hydrogenase 2 (Hyd-2) catalyzes the reversible oxidation of H2 to protons and electrons. Hyd-2 synthesis is strongly upregulated during growth on glycerol or on glycerol-fumarate. Membrane-associated Hyd-2 is an unusual heterotetrameric [NiFe]-hydrogenase that lacks a typical cytochrome b membrane anchor subunit, which transfers electrons to the quinone pool. Instead, Hy...
متن کاملThermodynamics of H2-consuming and H2-producing metabolic reactions in diverse methanogenic environments under in situ conditions
In situ concentrations of hydrogen and other metabolites involved in H2-consuming and H 2producing reactions were measured in anoxic methanogenic lake sediments, sewage sludge and fetid liquid of cottonwood. The data were used to calculate the Gibbs free energies of the metabolic reactions under the conditions prevailing in situ. The thermodynamics of most of the reactions studied were exergoni...
